If you have any questions or concerns about any band-related matters, other than music, marching, grades or assignments, feel free to call any member of the Executive Board. Executive Board meetings are usually held monthly on the first Thursday of the month. General Meetings, which all parents are encouraged to attend, are usually held on the first Tuesday after the first Thursday of the month. These are often the best way for parents to find out what is going on in the Band, and to take part in making their child's experience the best it can be!
